Yellow Fever vaccine shortage

The nation is currently under a Yellow Fever vaccine (YFVAX) shortage that is expected to last until mid-2018. Garfield County Public Health no longer has YFVAX available. Please keep in mind that international travelers need to obtain the Yellow Fever vaccine at least 10 days prior to traveling. At this time, patients will need to travel to the Denver area to obtain a Yellow Fever vaccine. In Denver, they will be offered Stamaril Yellow Fever vaccine.

Traveling? Public Health would like to make sure you have a safe and healthy trip. Garfield County Public Health provides "travel consultations" to discuss which immunizations are indicated for your destination/s, as well as other travel tips and information to limit your exposure to unwanted illnesses.
Please call either the Glenwood Springs or Rifle offices for an appointment.
Please remember for travel immunizations:

• There is an office visit fee for this appointment
